Trail description

A 4.4 km climb on the Hamilton Mountain Trail in Beacon Rock State Park, in the Columbia River Gorge, to the summit of Hamilton Mountain (about 2,400 ft / 730 m). About a mile in, side trails lead to Hardy Falls and to Rodney Falls and the Pool of the Winds, where a rail guards the upper falls; beyond the falls the trail steepens, helped by rugged stairs.
